I Been waiting patiently for this game, another gamecube only, it's really cheap so go get it now

MTX Mototrax is the first dirt bike game that runs at 60 frame rates per second. The graphics,and gameplay look and sound great also. The Gamecube has the most dirt bike games available and this is going to be another awsome bike game for the selection. The game looks very promising and the company said they promise it will be running at 60 frame rates per second all the time so that makes this game sound awsome. The game will be loaded with tricks and slow mo special stunts from what I have herd,kinda like Freekstyle. Either way sounds awsome.

So far every gaming magazine and gaming site has been happy with the production of this game. The graphics are solid they even look it. The sound is well done from what I have read on previews from early builds of the game. The game looks promising so far and I think it's ok to say this but this might be the next Freekstyle, MX Superfly mixed but better. The market is full of motocross games for Gamecube and they should be because so far we haven't had a bad Gamecube motocross game yet and this isn't going to be the one. I reccomend this game because it does look very promising.

This game is a lot of fun but it is hard to steer but once you get it down it is really fun!

this game is awsome.yeah the graphics could be in proved but the game is still great.the only other things idont like are,under coution the computer controlls your care,and also the same down pit lane.if it was person controlled the whole race it would be perfect!

The game is awesome, you select everything about the car on your own, the graphics are like watching a real race, you can even do a season and pick your own tracks

A game loaded with graphics on up close scenes. And the game play
is easy and absorbing. I did want some more fights and checks.
Pick your team and go at it! Buy it!

This game is awesome. I have had it over a year, and i have been hooked on it all year. I am already getting 2001(its in the mail) and i think everyone that enjoys hockey must get it.

I Had never liked hockey that much until i got this game. It Features different play modes. One is the season mode. You can edit your own lines, trade players, and it keeps players stats. The second is playoffs where you can do the same as above exept for the playoffs. A third is the tournament were you choose an international team. The others ar begginer game, exebition, and skills. This has fairly good graphics exept at times the players become square. It is very fun to play overall. The only other problem is it can take forever to load.

When i first got this game, I honestly wanted a game under 25 dollars. The graphics are good, and the features are great. As well as all 28 teams, you get World tournament mode, which is a tournament you can play with several countries. I admit that it is quite tough to beat the computer, ESPECIALLY if you put the computer level on all-star. Overall this product was definitely worth the money.

My list confirms why this is the mother of all hockey games:

1. Defensemen will clear any pinhead not wearing the same sweater creeping around the goalmouth. They'll either lay a shoulder on you or viciously cross-check you so that you're sprawled out on the ice.

2. Referees swallow their whistles as the third period winds down. Unless, of course, you get a bit too chippy with your elbows, especially away from the puck, then into the box you go! If you love pummeling the puck-handler, you'll often find yourself short-handed. Which brings me to...

3. Penalty killing is a necessary skill. You can't bomb down the ice with the puck while short-handed since the game forces you to kill off the infractions. If you do have room to skate, you'll be hesitant to carry it past the red line. Dump it and hustle back to the defensive zone, otherwise, you're stuck in no-man's land.

4. The dump-and-chase works remarkably well. In fact, once a goalie misplayed a puck that was dumped into a corner, the left wing beat him to the puck, passed it off to a pinching defenseman...GOAL!

5. The goalie makes spectacular sliding pad saves, fabulous kick saves, and has the best glove save outside of the Air Canada Centre. If the goalie's shoulders are squared to the shooter, he'll make a save EVERY time. Therefore, crash the net, set up one-timers, or deflect the puck shot from the blue line to score. Rarely, if you keep slapping away at the goalie as he attempts to smother the puck, you'll get a cheap goal (chances are you'll be on your back thanks to a protective defenseman).

6. The most effective way of stifling an odd-man situation is to hook one of them. This slows him down enough to disrupt the scoring chance, and, just like in the NHL, it never gets called!

7. Turn off the music and the commentators to enjoy the sounds of the game: the fans, the skating, the sticks, the boards, the pipe, and the players absorbing punishment and getting rattled off of the glass. Do yourself a favor and wear headphones, it's like you have $100 seats. By the way, ALWAYS be the home team since the crowd reacts to your play, and there's nothing better than scoring a goal and hearing the fans go nuts.

8. The devil is in the details. You can neutralize opposing players while mucking for the puck. If you wait long enough, you can force a defenseman down in an attempt to block the shot, then skate around him for a better scoring chance. Tick-tack passing will keep defenses on its heels. A goal was once scored by ricocheting the puck off of the unsuspecting goalie's skate.

My wish list:

1. A goal lamp would've been a nice touch.

2. Defensemen able to clutch players (hold too long and get whistled).

3. Broken stick if slap-shot button held too long.

If you want fluff, get the other hockey games. If you want to play virtual hockey, get this one.

When I bought this game last December I wasn't sure I'd have fun playing it. I had already owned EA's Nhl 2000 for a few months and I was having doubts whether Fox could measure up. Thats until I got it home and put it on my computer. I found it to have more realistic scoring, more practical player customization, and a cool rivalry mode. As gameplay goes it more than matches EA Nhl 2000 by making it harder to make the great plays. I was never finding myself saying "Boy I made that look easy!" The game didn't allow for beginners luck so I had to learn how beat other teams. Overall it's a much more challenging game in a sense that it doesn't babysit you. Graphics are average, but what it lacks in appearance it more than makes up for in sophistication.

Radical Entertainment has done 3 Playstation snowboarding games. The first was ESPN X-Games Pro Boarder back in 1998. It went up against Coolboarders 3 for best game honors and won. After that came MTV Sports Snowboarding, which upped the ante a bit while maintaining respectability. The 3rd installment is this game, MTV Sports Pure Ride, which plays and looks similar to its predecessor. Radical's trio tend to win out over CoolBoarders in the options and realism departments, though some will still swear by 989's CoolBoarders series. Pure Ride is certainly not the prettiest game on the block, but neither is the competition. What puts it over the top is Pure Ride's range of activities. Not just a simple race game, there are a diverse array of things to do, like the half-pipe, big air, trick runs, competitions, and a create-a-mountain mode that gives you control over a fairly large course to construct as you please.

Not leaps & bounds better than the CoolBoarders series, but slightly less cartoonish and with a better focus on the various modes, instead of a hodgepodge of fighting/racing/tricking. Certainly underrated.

Snowboarding games aren't my favorite.. I'm more of an RPG gamer. However, Pure Ride is an incredible amount of fun to play and it's one of those games you never get tired of. Lots of board choices, fair amount of riders, and a lot of good slopes. The tricks are interesting, although sometimes it is a bit difficult to hammer out the really high scoring ones. The graphics are smooth and visibility is good for the most part, but at some points it's hard to see what's ahead of the rider. The only other gripe I have is the soundtrack.. 10 songs isn't too bad, but I'd prefer a better selection. All around I think it's a great game and at least worth renting for a while. There's also some pretty cool videos to unlock and watch.

this game is so fun i could have played it all day long!u can evan create ur own slope!u should buy this game on the spot if u want to play 1 of the funnist games in the world!

th8isz is the greatest figure ever they should make nba legends with bird and johnson

I bought this figure for myself and another for a friend, both through Amazon because they're impossible to find here in Massachusetts.

The sculpt is great. The facial likeness is okay, not dead-on.

The problem with the figure is that it doesn't stand. Both mine and my friend's figures are horribly tilted at 45% after just a few months of display.

The metal rod is still straight, but either the hole in the shoe has expanded or the leg itself has warped. Either way, the piece just looks silly on display.

... I was very excited to get this figure. Now I wish I'd never bought it.

Perhaps MacFarlane will try again.

Here is a great figure of my new favorite basketball player. well favorite cause David Robinson retired. got both versions of paul in his green jersey and shorts and then in his white jersey and shorts. nice figure to have if you like the celtics or paul. oh and the floor piece looks great to have autographed. got mine autographed by PP.

I recently received this game for free, and I think its terrific. Although, some cons of this game are that sometimes you get confused and don't know where you are, and when your shooting the ball in the basket its all about luck and not about skills like when you really play bball.. all in all, this game is terrific even if it is a game of sports.

This game is overall a very good game (for it's time). However,it does have some major defects. I do not understand why the creators left out the greatest player ever to play the game: Michael Jordan! Instead of him the programmers put in some imitation player called "roster guard". They did the same thing with Shaq, except they called him "roster center"! NBA Jam, NBA Jam T.E., and NBA Hangtime also left out "His Airness". I hope that these video game people dont do the same thing with Kobe, I may have to lead a basketball boycott.

This video game is superb in every aspect from graphics to gameplay. The instant replays look perfect to there player models. If you have an open lane you can pick the dunk you want to do. It is so fun to play!

this game has good game play but a newer version of it can be bought for a cheap price as well. The graphics look really bad if you have played anything above PS1 this was the only college football game we had in my dorm room and we always complained about the graphics but the Gamecocks always win baby

This is a classic. When I was a kid I spent my last bit of money on it's tight with all the nfl players we love when they were in college you'll be amazed who played together.

An amazing array of options, realistic graphics, and totally realistic play outcomes make this game a must have!

this game was fun but it was way to easy to score on it you could score at the tap of a button with anybody it had Wayne Gretzky though in this game so that was cool

Faceoff '97 might be a little out of date to today's standards, however it is an excellent hockey game. Game sounds are very realistic as are the players and actions. This game can be put easy enough for a beginner, and challenging enough for a real gamer. Great classic PSX hockey game.

At [the price], this is a great pickup for your game collection. I loved this game when it first came out and am still playing it 4 years later. The game obviously lacks the expansion teams that have been added over the past several years and does not have the detail that the new games have but it does have great detail for its age. The controls are pretty easy to master so it will not take you long at all to start delivering crushing hip checks, posting shutouts, and picking the corners of the net. The computer puts up a pretty good fight and, while like all games it has glitches, it is very realistic. I really enjoy taking a team, creating players for it, and then playing a season on the All-Star level. If you love hockey and are bored with the games you have, give it a try.

For years we never saw any racing games on any system that didn't involve cars. That seems to have changed, with new racing style games coming out every month, Polaris Snowcross sheds some light on the widely popular yet little known sport of snowmobile racing. For game boy game this title is good. It has decent graphics, easy to use controls, and a wide variety of tracks to race on. As you grow as a racer and improve your rank, new polaris models become available to you. Multi-player only adds to the experience, letting you spar a friend with the link system. A great title for anyone who likes racing or snowmobiles and has a game boy.

This game is very fun because you need practice with the controls and it takes time to get good at some of the levels. This game is a racing game but for snowmobiles. If you like snowmobiles you will probobly like this game. It is much like some other racing games but there is always a level that takes some time to beat. I think, overall this game is very fun and exciting for the snowmobile lover.

I have played this game over and over, and have found it to be very challenging and fun. I see no downpoints to it. It has upgradable sleds, top down racing with forced perspective, and great challenge!

I highly recommend getting it.
